Will had the opportunity to sit down with Anna Bebow, Owner of Soul Fit in Bay City. Anna not only opened up Soul Fit to connect people to each other and their mind and soul, but she also runs her own wedding photography business.

Anna had opened up Soul Fit when she realized there wasn’t a lot of places that connect movement and the soul. Soul Fit is known to empower women through classes like Pilates, dance class, yoga and more, but is also available to men as well. Soul Fit is a studio rather than a gym, making the atmosphere more inviting with diffusers, low lights, and fewer equipment. The goal behind the studio is to make it more relaxing and not as intimidating as other fitness centers.

Anna is open to trying new fitness trends in the studio. She recently added a dance class to Soul Fit, incorporating dance moves with core and lower-body exercises. The studio has plenty of instructors for all different classes to suit each client’s tastes. Because of this, she has been open to the idea of offering virtual classes. Anna says the best marketing for her businesses is word of mouth. Most clients come with their friends or family to Soul Fit after hearing about it from someone else. On top of word of mouth, Anna turns to social media such as Instagram to post Reels of different classes. Besides typical exercise classes, Soul Fit offers hiking trips outside of Bay City for those who want to connect more with other people and with nature. Anna hopes to continue these trips quarterly, one for each season!

While Anna owns Soul Fit, she also manages her photography business. She recognizes that one person may not be able to do it all, such as running multiple businesses, so she learns and grows from her weaknesses. Putting trust in instructors that are passionate for Soul Fit has made balancing her other business much easier.
